Have fun mounting them 40's on beadlocks.

I use to build some crazy custom 1-off Jeeps fulltime for a living and it seemed I was often "chosen" to mount customers' tires on beadlocks. I've lost count as to how many I've done over the years.

As you know - not all beadlocks are created equal. Some are easy while others are a complete PITA. ?

Thanks for the jinx on my install. ?

The Nittos mounted up so easily on these wheels but these Mickey T’s are brutal. Ugh!!

You're most certainly welcome. They sure do look awesome.

Not to jinx you twice in a row - but I hope you have good luck balancing them monsters if you do balance them.

I run two sets of tires on my 1 ton YJ. 37" & 39" red label sticky Krawlers. I migrate them onto a set of Walker Evens 17" beadlocks. Not alot of fun.

I don't bother balancing them because I only drive it in the big rocks (J/V Hammers trails).

We’ll see if a little bit. Discount Tire is about to give it a shot. The 38s balanced out really well.

Balanced just fine and with less weight than was required with the 38” Nitto.

might just name it Hank

That is awesome @SSinGA, I'm glad to hear they balanced well.

Trim piece installed and visor “fixed”. ?

I must have missed the visor fix clip link, so can you pass some info on it. I could probably fab up one but not that nice looking.

So it looks like some new rocker protection is next in line as the factory Rubi rails stick into the forward wheel well too much and rub the tire.

Short list:
Metalcloak overland with flip step
Shrockworks
EVO bombers
Rusty's - have been on back order for months

Any other recommendations? Not spending $2600 on power steps or NVM rockers!

Just finished a 500 mile road trip with the new Baja Boss tires. 180 miles each way on the interstate with the balance around town and back-n-forth to work. Averaged 14.8 mpg. I’m pretty happy with that.

RPM steering has been ordered along with a Falcon Nexus 2.1 steering stabilizer. Teraflex ball joints have arrived.

 

[SSinGA]

2 more quick Amazon mods. These are 2 things that should come stock in the Jeep.
Storage tray for the center console

wireless CarPlay adapter

Hank got some Jeep-me-downs from the JKU today as we get it ready to sell.

just can’t beat the classic look of the KC lights and swapped over the Factor 55 fairlead getting ready for the winch install.
